A real digger. Sorry if I came on a little strong - I can get carried away at times...lol

Also, it's a shame that so many used record stores have closed over the last 5 years. I have no doubt that this is in part due to downloading, and has also had the effect of making the remaining used vinyl stores jack up their prices just to stay afloat. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to visit their local used record store and drop a buck or two so that these places can stay open...


man, you telling me. I was going there like once every two weeks and stockin up, but it closed. I almost cried cause everything else was downtown. (all those are gone too) Then like u said, other stores jackin up the prices (min $5 for those usual $1 records). The choices became slim unless it was booty music( that's the crap choices we got). Anyway, thats why i became a downloader/"e-digger" because that was the only way to find records you could usually get without breakin the bank on ebay. Its like the only place to find rare digs, on ebay! (shippin is extra)

there will always be markets and record fairs but end of the day peeps want good music without paying collectors prices so u should be happy we downloading cos there is more records for the guys that actually collect.

I apreciate music and learn certain eras, lables producers and artists but i have know desire to have a physical catelogue of records i just want ill sounds to flip and good music to listen to.

if i catsh a sound off a dvd, a video an avi a youtube clip long as it inspires and i can flip im good.

also will add that just cos u spent year collecting and studying records u might still make some boring dj shadowesque 30 minute composition no one cares except u (if u enjoy it good for u) but someone might download and mp3 and flip some ill shit in 5 minutes thats doper then ur whole catelogues of 30 minute opuses thats how it is.
